Is it fair to say I was "inspired" by Misschievious on Youtube when I pretty much copied her drugstore makeup tutorial? And although I was drooling over the Sleek Lagoon palette she used, I knew I would have plenty of similar colours I could substitute them for. I love using a darker base underneath bright colours for a bright but smoky look, as done in my Jewel Smoky Eye Makeup, as it brings them out differently compared to a lighter base.

And although this was a bored-on-a-saturday-night-playing-with-makeup-look it wasn't a waste of makeup as we ended up going out in the end. Nothing worse when you do your makeup perfectly and then nothing happens!

Ignore the eyelash giving me a lazy eye!

Slightly altered, same as first pic but contrast upped.

In case you are wondering, I wore the same outfit pictured here, as you can see with the 2nd skirt & the peplum top. I found this perfect for this night, as it had been raining almost all day, but by this time it had stopped so it was actually quite humid so I did not get that horrible hot & sweaty feeling.

As I always say thank you for viewing, all of your comments mean so much to me. I appreciate all of my followers, old & new, so don't be afraid to let me know if you're following me & I will checkout your blog in return! xxx

I know it's almost been 2 weeks but as long as it's still February, right? (I always seem to be late, lol!)
But I still wanted to share my day-to-night makeup that I wore on Valentines day/ night.... because I can! Not that I need one day out of the whole year as an excuse to wear pink ;)

~Day




As you can see I kept everything in the colour family, starting with my eyes using mainly Inglot, my cheeks & my lips, but I didn't want an actual pink lipstick, this is more on the purple side which matches half of my eyelid!

As natural as the light could get.

Products
Face: Same foundation as earlier but reapplied heavier. Same bronzer & highlighter.

Lips: Bourjois lip liner in #11, but I think the lipstick was a mixture of a few colours.. Nyx Black Label lipstick in Nude & Revlon Colourburst lipstick in Candy Pink was it, I think!

Hey guys, once again sorry for another late post with my New Years Eve makeup! I've been so busy this week to be able to get around to posting it. So I hope everyone had a great night partying, or whatever you did :) We had the hottest day on new years day that we've had in a long time.... 46.C or 115 F.! Which kinda sucked because it was way too hot for the beach :(
Anyway, it was humid on NYE especially when I was getting ready, so ignore the creasing!


  So of course being NYE I had to add glitter to the look. I was a little bit inspired by Lisa Eldridge's party makeup look with the shape & colouring, and wanted it to match my dress without being too matchy-matchy.

Shimmery white from Day & Night palette to highlight & skintone colour to blend above crease. Nyx Slide on pencil in Sunrise Blue on lower lashline with blue from inglot on top. Nyx Candy Glitter liner in Disco Ball in inner lashline.

Sorry this is a bit late, as everyone is already out of the Christmas mode as it comes to NYE! I didn't want to leave it any later, so this will be my last post for 2012. Can't believe the year is coming to an end, it went by so quickly, feels like just yesterday I was getting ready for last NYE. So yeah, here is my Christmas Eve & Day Makeup.

Christmas Eve
I had been wearing very similar makeup all day for work, so I just touched up my foundation with a bit of Garnier BB Cream, added more blush & fixed the eyes.

I like how warm toned this picture turned out.

 Quick Product Breakdown~
Cheeks: MAC Pink Swoon
Eyes: BH Cosmetics Day & Night: Gold [inner lid], bronze [lid], shimmery taupe [crease]
Lips: MAC Myth with a coral ligloss over the top [hadn't re-touched it for a few hours so it's worn off a fair bit]
  My OOTN, this sequined top is by Ally fashion & is actually sheer so I wore a bandeau bra underneath. I felt it was nice & Christmassy :) I wore crochet shorts also from Ally. But I had to change later as it got a bit cold so I wore pleather leggings which I think looked cute with the top.

Christmas Day
You may have seen it briefly in my previous post but I like how my makeup turned out on xmas day so here it is! I used all the festive colours & thought it would be too much but it worked out well, although when I was doing it I just went for it without knowing exactly what I was doing.




 Product Breakdown
Cheeks: I can't actually remember fully but I think it was Top Shop cream blush in Head over heels with Jordana Coral Sandy Beach
Eyes: Sugarpill Goldiluxe, Red & Green -Bh Cosmetics Day & Night palette, with Nyx Slide on Pencil in Green Papaya as a base for the green shadow. Matte white highlight from same palette.
Lips: Maybelline Coral Crush (later I ended up adding Nyx Eros to the outer corners.)
 Christmas Day OOTD: I wanted to show off this cute dress from www.showponyfashion.com, we had lunch outside so when I stood up I kept doing the Marilyn :P

Christmas Nails
This is my second time playing around with gradient or ombre nails using a sponge, & since I had gotten O.P.I Goldeneye the week before I pictured it with a sparkly red on my nails!


 So festive!!

So how are y'all bringing in the new year? Party hard, quiet night in?? & How will you be doing your makeup?? I have sort of an idea for tonight!! & we are going to a bar/restaurant on the water that is having a band playing so it should be good!

See you in 2013!!

I wore this out to my partners work Christmas dinner, & wanted something a bit festive but not using the typical Christmas-y colours. I also knew I didn't want to wear red lips because I wore them out to dinner a few nights before & it faded & just looked awful, and I'd rather not worry about it!

My skin looks photoshopped, but please believe me that it's not!

Yes that is a feather extension poking out, I actually have 5 in my hair but because it's so thick they are always hiding.

There's a spot on my cheek where my bronzer skips over it, which is so annoying!!

Eyes: Sugarpill Goldiluxe - Lid
MUG Galaxy- right on outside of gold.

MUG Shimma Shimma- highlight
Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner
BYS Lashes- once again they are really cheap quality so you can still see the lash band even with covering it with eyeliner :(

Lips: I had worn off Ulta3 Harem Pink but I added Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle over the top for a creamy pink.

I hope everyone has a merry & safe Christmas! xx

I started out with this makeup during the day.... it isn't essentially a day time look but it was day enough for me :P We were in the city for Stereosonic (best day!!) but this was the day before were we got to go out to lunch & shopping with friends and we got to see our niece for the first time in ages! Sorry for the pic heavy post.
Day Makeup


I did my eyes at home but finished with my foundation in the car, I was trying out a sample of the Garnier BB Cream, but as I put it on I realized it was a medium colour & a bit too dark & orange looking for me, but I blended & blended & added everything else and the colour didn't turn out too bad in the end. Unfortunately I couldn't open the packet properly and some splattered onto my strap :@ so I tried to rub it off but got lipstick on it too and made it even worse!!! *DOH* I took out my hair and kinda twisted the strap to hide it. So annoying!

Night
After this busy, exhausting day I didn't feel like completely starting my makeup over again but I wanted to dramat-ify it for a big night out (the random nights are the best!) I also *had* to use my Oh My! Katy Perry lashes by Eyelure.

Mini Lash Review

These seriously are the thickest lashes ever. They are double banded so they feel really sturdy. I had to cut mine down to shape just a tiny bit, & as they were quite stiff they weren't the easiest to put on but I'm sure they will be easier to apply next time. They are probably a bit too overwhelming for my eyes, especially when they are open, but that wont stop me from wearing them again. I also didn't need to curl my lashes into them as I curled them beforehand & already had a heap of mascara on.

With my "mustached friend" hehe.

Also if you're wondering I got my top from www.allyfashion.com.au instore a couple of weeks ago, it is a lemon coloured peplum style top with a peak-a-boo back. Although I changed it for going out since it was stained! I wore it with black shorts during the day but I would have paired it with a black bandage skirt for night.

Thank you so much for looking! Take care xx
